I wonder what's different about USB chargers made by ASDA.
It is different in the sense that does not say "Made in China" either on the gadget or on the packaging. Just a featureless white plastic 13amp plug with one of the brightest red LEDs I've ever seen. Asda WM400.

When I got it, it came with a PSP compatible cable with 2 plugs on the business end. One USB and one yellow jack-plug type. I charge the PRS-505 using the USB wall charger, as I said, and the yellow jack-plug, as I didn't say but obviously should.

Sorry about that, I'm a bad person.
